<p>A longest known painting, which was created by early indigenous Americans, have been discovered by archaeologists in Alabama, said a new study. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>This 1,000-year-old image of a 10-foot-long (3 meters) rattlesnake has broken all records, media reports said. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>This image and other paintings were crafted by indigenous Americans from mud on the walls and ceiling of a cave. It also depicts spirits of the underworld, the researchers said. &nbsp;</p>

Longest known cave painting created by indigenous Americans found in US, says study

The world's oldest cave painting is decaying at a rapid pace due to climate change, archaeologists said, as experts race against time to find ways to preserve the priceless prehistorical artwork in Indonesia. Found in 2017, the painting in a limestone cave in Indonesia's island of Sulawesi appears to be the earliest known pictorial record of storytelling and thought to date back 45,500 years.
